Lyrics
Mission From Memphis
Got this rockin fever when I was just knee high
Listening to the records my big sister used to buy
Wanda Jackson, Carl Perkins, Elvis was the king
They reached into my soul and told me I was born to sing
A Silvertone guitar beneath the Christmas tree
The dye was caste forever for what I was gonna be
I was underneath the spell that ran deep into my soul
It was music born in Memphis, they called it rock n roll
(Chorus)
Im on a mission from Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee
Like a revival preacher something you just got to see
Brother let my music touch you let my music set you free
Im on a mission from Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee
(Inst)
Some people say it started back in 55
Wasnt there for the birth but Im keeping it alive
All you nonbelievers give a listen to me
On a mission from Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee
(Chorus)
Im on a mission from Memphis, Memphis, Tennesse
Like a revival preacher something you just got to see
Brother let my music touch you let my music set you free
Im on a mission from Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee
(Tag)
Im on a mission from Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee
Lonnie C. Ratliff & Thomas Ahlberg
